Another Transgender Woman Of Color Has Been Found Dead In Dallas
The killing of Chynal Lindsey, 26, is at least the fourth unsolved slaying involving transgender women of color in the Texas city.
By Dominique Mosbergen
Dallas police urged people to "stay vigilant" after the killing of another black transgender woman — the latest in a string of unsolved slayings involving transgender victims of color in the city.
The body of 26-year-old Chynal Lindsey was pulled from White Rock Lake on Saturday. Investigators didn't reveal the cause of death, but police said there were "obvious signs of homicidal violence." Police said they asked the FBI to help investigate.
Lindsey is at least the third transgender woman of color to be killed in Dallas in a year. A fourth transgender woman's homicide remains unsolved from 2015, and the death of a transgender woman whose remains were found in 2017 is unexplained.
Less than two weeks ago, 23-year-old Muhlaysia Booker, a black transgender woman, was found shot to death less than a mile from where Lindsey's body was recovered, CBS News reported. Booker made national news a few weeks earlier after a disturbing video showed her being assaulted by a group of men in a Dallas parking lot.
Chief Renee Hall says the Dallas Police Department is "concerned" and "actively and aggressively investigating" after the death of another Black transgender woman in Dallas. Chynal Lindsey's death is being investigated as a homicide. @NBCDFW https://t.co/30qe130QUa pic.twitter.com/c5ousLsJzR

Dallas police Chief Reneé Hall said at a news conference on Monday that city and federal investigators would look into whether the two slayings were linked.
"The Dallas Police Department has reached out to the FBI because as we know this is the second individual who is transgender who is deceased in our community," she said, according to The New York Times. "We are concerned ― we are actively and aggressively investigating this case and we have reached out to our federal partners to assist us in these efforts."
Asked whether a serial killer was on the loose, Hall urged caution.
"Right now we don't have the evidence to substantiate that," the chief said. "But what we are asking each and every one of our community members is to stay vigilant."
The FBI was "prepared to assist" Dallas police if "information comes to light of a potential federal civil rights violation," a spokeswoman told ABC News.
"If this was a hate crime, shame on you."

— Andrea Lucia (@CBS11Andrea) June 4, 2019
Dallas police are now investigating at least four unsolved homicide cases involving transgender women of color since 2015, CNN reported. In addition, a transgender woman's remains were found in a field in 2017 in what police say was an "unexplained death," according to the Times.
"Right now is a really scary time," Lou Weaver of LGBTQ advocacy group Equality Texas told the paper. "We literally just celebrated the life of Ms. Booker last week and on Saturday night they find another transgender woman whose body has been left in a marshy area."
"People are afraid. We're wondering if someone is targeting the transgender community," Weaver said.

Is JVM for MIPS available?
Which JRE or JDK can I manually install on a armv7l linux with less than 55Mb available?
I believe that the above answers were both marked as spam because of their textual similarities and potentially also because of the self-promotion elements.
My understanding based on these posts..
.. was that self-promotion is allowed, as long as its done sparingly, and it answers the question.
In both cases, I picked posts to answer that either were asked recently or had recent activity. I not only tried to answer the question, but also to provide objective evidence that backs up the statement (comparable RAM/Heap usage). Finally, I also fully disclosed the fact that I worked for the company.
As a new user, I wasn't quite aware, but now fully understand that self-promotion is frowned upon. Moving forward, I don't intend to just plug the company for which I work. I promise to do this sparingly. Rather, my intent is to transfer the knowledge I've acquired over the years of working with the Java programming language and with different JVM's.
All that being said, are there any steps that I can/should take to unlock the above posts so that they could be edited/improved? If so, how can they be improved? Or are they permanently locked/marked as spam and I should just move on and work on generating other good answers/content?
I'm quite happy you elected to step forward and discuss this, so let's have a constructive discussion about it.
My understanding based on these posts ... was that self-promotion is allowed, as long as its done sparingly, and it answers the question.
...but did you answer the questions, though?
I am looking for java support on mips. Is the JVM for Mips available? I tried downloading the jdk for java support but it is not available for mips. How can I port java on mips?
"Java support" has been a buzz word with Oracle's recent change to their license and release models, since "support" now only happens with long-term releases, which is a paid service. In 2015 this probably didn't matter that much since Oracle hadn't done anything this radical, but it's fairly clear from the tone of the OP that they are looking for an official port.
In general, in order for us to provide a release for any platform (MIPS architecture, or otherwise), we would simply need to be provided with a toolchain. Once the toolchain is provided, it usually takes us very little time to provide an evaluation VM binary.
If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them!
We don't do discussions on Stack Overflow. We do questions and answers.
Just in the future, be careful about the self-promotion you want to do. While your service may actually be valuable, if your service went dark and we had someone who needed this knowledge look at your answer, they'd be frustrated that they couldn't get a solution to a problem after searching high and low.
I believe that the other answers deal with the basics of self-promotion and what kind of post is appropriate in the site, and how your posts were a (very) bad fit for Stack Overflow; but it seems that you may have learnt something from your previous mistakes and are now more aware about those rules, or so you claim.
All that being said, are there any steps that I can/should take to unlock the above posts so that they could be edited/improved?
Nothing. I do not think that those are salvageable. There is no way to make them good. And they are posted to off-topic questions anyway (something it appears you still have trouble identifying: answer good, on-topic questions; answering the other kind is not helpful for the site). So changing them completely so they are different but good answers is not something to be desired either.
The difficulty of your situation is that answer-ban is something that I believe not even a moderator could lift, since it's wholy automatic. Once you are in that hole, the only way to dig yourself out is by following these steps.
Asking a moderator to clear the spam flag from either of these posts to help you get unbanned seems unfair, and counterproductive. The posts were spammy. They were correctly flagged and deleted.
Your only possible recourse regarding these answers, and the situation they put you in* would be to try to ask for a post dissasociation, explaining why you are asking for it. Maybe that could help you getting unbanned, although I'm not sure it woul work. Whoever responds to your message might tell you more, if you ask clearly and explain the situation.
You answer your question in your question.
This means that most of your answers must be about other things, and not include any promotion at all. You only have 1 answer like that out of 3.
This is why they are marked as spam. When you posted them, your sole presence seemed to be for the purpose of posting spam.
Currently your deleted answers would not be a fit for Stack Overflow even if they didn't promote anything as you don't really answer the question. You are too chatty, don't provide an answer, and solicit extra contact, which are all big no-nos and red flags.
Stack Overflow looks for answers that are short, concise, which you can look at and get the answer without having to ask for any extra details or tools.
My advice is to try and answer a few questions on a subject you are familiar with, where you don't promote your product. Build up some reputation, and get to know how Stack Overflow works, and what is looked for. The one non-promotion answer you currently have is good, keep it up. And welcome to Stack Overflow!
First, I'm glad you're aware of our self-promotion policies and have gone through them, as well as general advices on self-promo.
I'm not sure how to start this off, so let me present you with an example of a good self-promotion first.
But what's the difference between the example and your promotion?
Just my humble opinion, it's that the other user has many other positive contributions to the site (Stack Overflow), and the promotional answer is also a valid answer to the question. Your answers follow the latter point since they're also valid answers to the questions. That's good, BUT. The questions, as noted by Martijn, are off-topic themselves, as they're asking people to find other resources. As said in the "close reason" text, "such questions tend to attract spam", and it's a reason why we take answers to such questions more seriously. I'd also like to point out that despite being valid, your answers doesn't add much value to the site and can IMO hardly be counted as "positive contribution".
The other point, "other contributions", could also be a reason why your answers are considered spam. The author of the example answer presented above has many other decent answers, and we trust them more that they don't come for promotion. You have only 1 visible answer at the point, where two other of your answers are promotional. We allow some self-promotion if they come to answer, but we generally take it as spam when it comes with the intention to promote, which people may have thought so by looking at the way your answers are written.
The latter one is what I want to emphasize: Come to answer, not come to promote.
Bottom line: Thank you for your understanding of Stack Overflow and our policies. Keep the right thing in mind and you'll be another good contributor.
Not the answer you're looking for? Browse other questions tagged support specific-answer self-promotion .
Why was this post marked as Spam?
Is promoting one's own product always spam?

According to the plan, the improvement work of standards for 6500 drugs will be completed in the next five years, including 2500 Chinese medicines, 2800 chemical medicine, 200 biological products, 350 traditional Chinese medicinal materials, and 650 traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. The packaging materials standards for 139 direct contact drugs will be improved, and the packaging material standards for 100 commonly-used direct contact drugs will be developed. The standards for 132 pharmaceutical excipients will be improved, and the standards for 200 pharmaceutical excipients will be developed.
In promoting drug safety monitoring and early warning levels, our government will strengthen the construction of municipal and county monitoring institutions. There are more than 80% of adverse drug reaction cases in county (city, area) report, and there are 400 adverse drug reaction cases per one million people. There ratio of adverse events of medical devices in county (city, area) reports is over70%, and the adverse event reports of medical devices per one million people are 400.
In order to crack down these behaviors of manufacturing and selling the counterfeit and low-quality drugs, the plan proposed that improve the department anti-counterfeiting collaboration mechanism, and accelerate the information platform construction of the cohesion of the administrative law enforcement and criminal justice.

At the same time, thrash out the problems that the penalties for the crime for manufacturing and selling the counterfeit and low-quality drugs are too low, and increase penalties for the criminal behaviors of manufacturing and selling the counterfeit and low-quality drugs.
According to the goal determined by the plan, in the five years, the standards of all chemicals and biological products in China shall be at or near the international standards, and Chinese medicine standards are formulated in accordance with the international standards. The medical devices adopt international standards in 90% or more. The pharmaceutical production completely conforms to the requirements of "Good Manufacturing Practice" revised in 2010; sterile and implantable medical devices production completely conforms to the requirements of "Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Apparatus and Instruments".

Happy Down-Sized Holiday
November 20, 2009 By Birke Consulting
Szifra is quoted at CNBC.com
By Chris Taylor, 2009
If you thought last year was tough, brace yourself for this holiday season. The stock market may be up, but more than 7 million jobs have been lost in the last two years, and unemployment has climbed to a 25-year high.
For American families, that means a scaled-back holiday of fewer gifts, less expense, and ramped-down celebrations. In fact according to a new poll by the National Retail Federation, more than 84 percent of people plan to clamp down on their wallets and spend less on gift-giving than last year. And when you think about it, that's not such a bad thing.
"Remember that you're not the only one concerned with saving money this holiday season," says Farnoosh Torabi, author of the personal-finance guide You're So Money and money coach on SOAPnet's Bank of Mom and Dad. "Our 'new normal' economy embraces the less-is-more mentality — and so should you. There's no shame in saving money."
After all, if you're already out of work or just scared about losing your job, financial necessity has a way of focusing the mind. A new poll predicts we will spend about as much on gifts this holiday season, $638, as last year — which was smack in the middle of the financial meltdown, and "one of the worst holiday seasons in recent memory," according to Gallup.
To be sure, it can feel embarrassing not to be able to buy your kid the latest Xbox game he's been asking for. But just as the stock market corrected from unsustainable highs, so household budgets have corrected — and that's a positive development. What this holiday may lack in quantity of presents, you can make up for with quality time like tree-trimming parties or family movie marathons.
"It's not only okay to cut back, it's a great opportunity to talk about values," says Szifra Birke, a psychologist and wealth counselor in Chelmsford, Mass. "If you're extravagant when it doesn't make sense, and then become upset and stressed about money, what lessons are you passing on to your children?"
Just because your budget is constrained, in fact, doesn't mean you can't have a memorable holiday season. It just means planning ahead, shifting priorities, and getting creative about where and when you spend your dollars. A few key tips from the personal-finance experts:
Turn points into presents. You may not even know how many award points you've racked up on your credit card, but those are easily translatable into merchandise or gift certificates.
Wrap up your skills. Instead of spending dollars, spend your time, advises Torabi. Web developers can build a site for a friend or loved one, would-be chefs can cook a meal, and amateur photographers can take family portraits.
Regift — carefully. Not with cheap knickknacks, but items with real sentimental meaning. If you have a favorite book, for example, give it to a good friend with a personal note about how it changed your life.
Sweet charity. If you were going to give a little cash to charity this year, do it in a loved one's name — and enjoy the nifty tax deduction yourself, which will come in handy on April 15.
Work the Web. Anything you want to buy, make sure you comparison shop on the Internet before you whip out that credit card. Sites like PriceGrabber.com, NexTag.com and RetailMeNot.com will help. And don't forget the importance of free shipping deals, or entering coupon codes for extra discounts.
Bid cheap. On auction sites like eBay, scope around for goods that are listed as unopened or 'NWT' (new with tags). You'll get the same stuff at a fraction of the price.
In short, this year's holidays may not be as lavish as when housing was booming, credit flowed freely, and the Dow was soaring to record highs. But by trimming the excesses and returning to the basics of faith and family, the holidays can turn into something far more meaningful.
"Make conscious choices about where and how to spend your money this year," advises Birke. "Give smaller presents, or give to charity. After all, handing down values is much harder than handing out presents."

Theory of longitudinal emission computed tomography and the practical application to cardiac imaging
Mills, John Alexander (1986) Theory of longitudinal emission computed tomography and the practical application to cardiac imaging. PhD thesis, University of Warwick.
WRAP_Theses_Mills_1986.pdf - Unspecified Version - Requires a PDF viewer.
Longitudinal Emission Computed Tomography (LECT) is a radioisotope imaging technique which has found particular use in cardiac investigations. However, its clinical use has revealed Imaging problems which show themselves as reconstruction artefacts or false defects. The basis for the imaging problem of LECT is established theoretically using a simple analysis which shows that the reconstruction will predict that activity lies outside the object volume. The volume of the reconstruction lying outside the object volume is considered as an error volume, by using simple, unmodified back projection. This is the first time such a concept has been developed and it is used to calculate an error volume index (EVI). This index is shown to be useful for assessing and comparing LECT systems. It is used to examine the reduction of the error volume by modifications to LECT systems.
Thallium-201 perfusion imaging for ischaemic heart disease and infarct detection using a rotating slant hole (RSH) LECT system is compared to conventional planar imaging and X-ray contrast arteriography. RSHLECT is shown not to improve the diagnostic performance of planar imaging. The tomograms suffer from artefacts which appear as defects in the myocardium. Although the presence of these artefacts have been demonstrated by other workers this study shows that they have a significant affect on the diagnostic performance of the technique. A computer simulation and experimental studies using a simulated cardiac chamber are used to study the source of the problem. The origin of the artefacts is demonstrated for the first time.
The problem of the error volume in reconstructing the cardiac blood pool is considered. Three techniques to correct the reconstruction volume are examined and one is recommended which will reduce the error volume. Computer simulation and experimental studies with a simulated blood pool are used to examine this problem. It is shown that it is not possible to correct the reconstruction volume when an iterative least squares reconstruction technique is used together with the assumption of a uniform activity distribution; this implies the need for an alternative predictive function. The Inability to correct the reconstruction volume for a simple uniform activity distribution show that, for Thallium-201 perfusion Imaging where the distribution is non-uniform, there is a need for an imaging system modified to reduce the error volume. This work concerning a blood pool LECT reconstruction and correction of the reconstruction volume is original.
For the clinical trial of Thallium-201 perfusion imaging and the experimental work with a simulated cardiac chamber, a rotating slant hole LECT system was used. The physical performance of this system was measured and compared with other LECT systems. In doing this a relationship between plane density in the reconstruction and inter-planar resolution is demonstrated for the first time.

IC: ments: Hi, this is a follow up to my previous question regarding serpentine belt being too close to the edge of the tensioner pulley. The noise I referenced from engine compartment seems to be like a high frequency vibrating sound sort of like the sound of a flag flapping in the wind but much higher frequency.
Timing Belt, How Do I know It Needs Replaced?
We use to check for timing chain and gear wear by using a timing light to measure timing variations at different rpm settings or check the stretch by counter rotating the crankshaft with the engine off.

N. Korea readies deployment of new GPS jamming device
The development of the device may signal more aggressive jamming activities toward South Korea than in the past
Jeong Tae Joo
2020.04.27 9:00am
North Korea's military recently completed final tests on a new "GPS jamming device" for use against South Korea and is preparing its deployment into the field, Daily NK has learned.
The Bureau of Weapons Review, an organization affiliated with the Ministry of the People's Armed Forces, submitted a report to North Korea's military leadership stating that the new jamming device can be deployed in the field, a North Korean source told Daily NK on Apr. 23.
The bureau examines and determines the possibility of deploying all strategic and tactical weapons jointly developed by the country's research institutes and military-related factories.
GPS jamming involves using a frequency emitting device to interfere with radio communications and can be used to jam phones, text messages, wi-fi networks and GPS systems.
The bureau's report stated that following careful reviews of the device since early January, final tests of the device on Apr. 11 confirmed that the device is "stable" enough to be deployed into the field.
The report also stated that the device possesses more advanced and refined attack capabilities than past devices.
The conclusions of the report suggest that North Korea may embark on more aggressive jamming related activities toward South Korea than in the past.
Indeed, North Korea's development of this new device appears aimed at attacking communication systems used by South Korea and between US and South Korean military forces.
Now that the device has been deemed "stable," it is expected to be deployed throughout the military from next month, Daily NK's source said. Specifically, North Korea may aim to quickly deploy the device within the military's electronic warfare division and the Electronic Reconnaissance Bureau 121 (Cyber Warfare Agency) under the Reconnaissance General Bureau (RGB), which is responsible for jamming operations against South Korea.

Q: On Descartes / spoof odd perfect numbers Descartes, Frenicle, and subsequently Sorli, conjectured that $k = 1$, if $N = {q^k}{n^2}$ is an odd perfect number given in Eulerian form (i.e., $q$ is prime with $q \equiv k \equiv 1 \pmod 4$ and $\gcd(q,n)=1$).
The inequality $q^k < n^2$ follows from a result of Pomerance. In particular, this implies that $n < q \Longrightarrow k = 1$ is true.  (Note that, if $n < q$, then the Euler prime $q$ becomes the largest prime factor of the odd perfect number $N$.  In comparison to the case of even perfect numbers, the Mersenne prime $2^p - 1$ is the largest prime factor with exponent $1$.)
Taking off from a recent MO question, we have the following related papers:
Descartes Numbers by Banks, et.al.
and
SPOOF ODD PERFECT NUMBERS by Dittmer
My question is this:  Does anybody here know of more recent papers that tackle whether the quasi-Euler prime of a spoof odd perfect / Descartes number is the largest quasi-prime factor and also has exponent $1$?  Quick searches via Google for the keywords "Descartes number" or "spoof odd perfect number" do not seem to yield much results.
I have likewise e-mailed Professors Banks and Dittmer, hoping to get some information.
[Edit (March 5, 2015): Just for the sake of comparison - In OEIS sequence A228059, T. D. Noe lists odd numbers of the form ${r^s}{t^2}$, where $r$ is prime with $r \equiv s \equiv 1 \pmod 4$ and $\gcd(r,t)=1$, that are closer to being perfect than previous terms.  He notes that, coincidentally the first $9$ numbers in this sequence have the exponent $s=1$.  Additionally, except for the first number in the sequence ($45$), all of the succeeding numbers listed in A228059 satisfy $r < t$.]

PROVINCE ANNOUNCES NEW LAW IN FORCE HELPS VICTIMS OF REVENGE PORN, UNWANTED DISTRIBUTION OF SEXUAL PICTURES
Help With Removing Images From Public Display; Victims Can Sue For Financial Damages: Minister Mackintosh
A nation-leading approach that helps Manitobans whose intimate pictures are distributed without their permission or are victims of 'revenge porn' is now in place to deal with this increasingly prevalent and harmful activity, Attorney General Gord Mackintosh announced as the Intimate Image Protection Act came into effect today.
"Manitoba is a leader in helping victims reclaim their intimate images, restoring their privacy and providing support along the way," said Minister Mackintosh. "This is the first provincial legislation of in the country to deal with revenge porn and non-consensual distribution of sexual pictures. It also complements our broader investments to meet the needs of victims and reduce the damage caused by online victimization."
The minister noted the first contact for Manitobans dealing with this issue is the Canadian Centre for Child Protection (C3P). Through its Cybertip.ca program, C3P will offer help to Manitobans who are victims of non-consensual distribution of sexual pictures including information or assistance in:
removing intimate images from social media or other locations;
contacting individuals who released the intimate image, or their parents, to remove and delete all images; or
engaging police, where appropriate.
"The sharing of intimate images is a growing issue that can result in major social fallout if action is not taken quickly to stop distribution," said Lianna McDonald, executive director, Canadian Centre for Child Protection. "This new law provides people with a much needed mechanism for addressing the removal of intimate images from the Internet that can significantly affect an individual's emotional well-being. Providing Manitobans with access to support services, educational tools and resources is critical in helping them take control and get their life back and we applaud this new law coming into force."
The new act applies when someone with an intimate image of another person distributes, or threatens to distribute it, without that person's consent. The person in the picture would have to be identifiable and nude, or engaged in sexual activity, and have had a reasonable expectation of privacy at the time it was created.
The act can also apply in situations where other people obtain or receive intimate images of another person and distribute them without consent, digitally or in any other format.
Under the act, victims can now sue in civil court to hold a person accountable financially for distributing sexual pictures without consent. The court may order prohibiting the publication of the name of any party to the lawsuit or other information that might identify the victim. A lawsuit may result in an order for the payment of damages, the payment of any profits made from the distribution and other orders the court considers appropriate including an injunction to stop further victimization.
Since March 2015, C3P has received nearly 350 reports of non-consensual distribution of intimate images from across the country. Nearly half involved a child between the ages of 15 and 17.
The minister said Manitobans of any age who have been a victim of non-consensual distribution of intimate images, or are being threatened by with this activity, are encouraged to contact the Canadian Centre for Child Protection at www.cybertip.ca to learn more about available resources.

Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic: How may communication strategies influence our behaviours?
A novel Corona virus (SARS-CoV-2), started in Wuhan China, caused an outbreak of viral pneumonia to subsequently spread throughout the world. Italy has been one of the most affected countries in the world and the increasing number of cases and deaths has created strong emotional reactions in people. This study has aimed at evaluating public attention to this emerging disease through the use of Google Trends. Public attention, measured as the volume of internet search activity, was correlated with Health Communication Strategies and official COVID-19 data. At the moment of the study analysis, Italy was by far the first country in terms of search volume for "coronavirus" and the highest peak of searches was reached on February 23, 2020. We have found that there was a correlation between public attention to coronavirus disease and communications from Public Health policies: we observed spikes in search volumes on the days of Presidential Decree publications. Furthermore, this attention was also correlated with Case Fatality Rate (CFR). Even if CFR data are continuously updated and can be affected by patient histories, the correlation found suggests that the increase in mortality has generated growing interest in the disease and its risk perception. This study shows that tracking searches through Google Trends as a public focus indicator is a useful tool for decision-makers in guiding communication strategies and should as well stimulate a more transparent media and policy making reporting.

Abstract: A novel Corona virus (SARS-CoV-2), started in Wuhan China, caused an outbreak of viral pneumonia to subsequently spread throughout the world. Italy has been one of the most affected countries in the world and the increasing number of cases and deaths has created strong emotional reactions in people. This study has aimed at evaluating public attention to this emerging disease through the use of Google Trends. Public attention, measured as the volume of internet search activity, was correlated with Health Communication Strategies and official COVID-19 data. At the moment of the study analysis, Italy was by far the first country in terms of search volume for "coronavirus" and the highest peak of searches was reached on February 23, 2020. We have found that there was a correlation between public attention to coronavirus disease and communications from Public Health policies: we observed spikes in search volumes on the days of Presidential Decree publications.

Hello, what are your working hours to call, i have some technical questions about the watch. What is the tech support number ? My boy goes to day care place and there they took his watch off and were able to shut it down, does this mean the owner of day care place could have installed an app on her phone "SeTracker", or "SeTracker2" then register with their own email and password and take a picture on the back of the watch (meaning REG CODE on the back) , is that possible, or only one registration is allowed for this watch? I did however installed an app on my wife phone and i did the same for i have done on my phone but i could not start the SeTracker App on her phone, message was something about authorisation required and my email address, so my question is how could she was able to shut down the device since only it can be shut down remotely from an app??? I may have other questions later, thanks in advance.

Complementarity Equilibrium Efficiency And Economics
Author: G. Isac
In complementarity theory, which is a relatively new domain of applied mathematics, several kinds of mathematical models and problems related to the study of equilibrium are considered from the point of view of physics as well as economics. In this book the authors have combined complementarity theory, equilibrium of economical systems, and efficiency in Pareto's sense. The authors discuss the use of complementarity theory in the study of equilibrium of economic systems and present results they have obtained. In addition the authors present several new results in complementarity theory and several numerical methods for solving complementarity problems associated with the study of economic equilibrium. The most important notions of Pareto efficiency are also presented. Audience: Researchers and graduate students interested in complementarity theory, in economics, in optimization, and in applied mathematics.

Nonsmooth optimization covers the minimization or maximization of functions which do not have the differentiability properties required by classical methods. The field of nonsmooth optimization is significant, not only because of the existence of nondifferentiable functions arising directly in applications, but also because several important methods for solving difficult smooth problems lead directly to the need to solve nonsmooth problems, which are either smaller in dimension or simpler in structure.This book contains twenty five papers written by forty six authors from twenty countries in five continents. It includes papers on theory, algorithms and applications for problems with first-order nondifferentiability (the usual sense of nonsmooth optimization) second-order nondifferentiability, nonsmooth equations, nonsmooth variational inequalities and other problems related to nonsmooth optimization.
Generalized Convexity Nonsmooth Variational Inequalities And Nonsmooth Optimization
Author: Qamrul Hasan Ansari
Until now, no book addressed convexity, monotonicity, and variational inequalities together. Generalized Convexity, Nonsmooth Variational Inequalities, and Nonsmooth Optimization covers all three topics, including new variational inequality problems defined by a bifunction. The first part of the book focuses on generalized convexity and generalized monotonicity. The authors investigate convexity and generalized convexity for both the differentiable and nondifferentiable case. For the nondifferentiable case, they introduce the concepts in terms of a bifunction and the Clarke subdifferential. The second part offers insight into variational inequalities and optimization problems in smooth as well as nonsmooth settings. The book discusses existence and uniqueness criteria for a variational inequality, the gap function associated with it, and numerical methods to solve it. It also examines characterizations of a solution set of an optimization problem and explores variational inequalities defined by a bifunction and set-valued version given in terms of the Clarke subdifferential. Integrating results on convexity, monotonicity, and variational inequalities into one unified source, this book deepens your understanding of various classes of problems, such as systems of nonlinear equations, optimization problems, complementarity problems, and fixed-point problems. The book shows how variational inequality theory not only serves as a tool for formulating a variety of equilibrium problems, but also provides algorithms for computational purposes.

Leray Schauder Type Alternatives Complementarity Problems And Variational Inequalities
Author: George Isac
This book is the first to discuss complementarity theory and variational inequalities using Leray–Schauder type alternatives. Complementarity theory, a relatively new domain in applied mathematics, has deep connections with several aspects of fundamental mathematics. The ideas and method presented in this book may be considered as a starting point for new developments. The book presents a new kind of application for the Leray–Schauder principle.

This is a scene from Garden of the Gods in Colorado. Having spent a lot of time in Colorado, I was inspired to make this print after seeing a painting of the scene by Swedish-born artist, Birger Sandzen, who painted throughout the American West in the early part of the 20th century.
Sandzen is known for his imaginatively colorful impressionistic style and his paintings have become widely sought-after. One of my favorite painters of the West. This print is 4.375" x 6.25", from an edition of 12.
The view across Lake Superior to Palisade Head in the distance, from the top of Shovel Point in Tettegouche State Park. Sold Out.

Bi national governments meet to discuss environmental future of Lake Memphremagog
13 January 2020 at 18 h 56 min
Reading time:	1 min
By Steve Blake, Special to the Record
Magog Mayor Vickie May Hamm spoke on behalf of Quebec mayors of municipalities on Lake Memphremagog. Their biggest preoccupation, she said, is the affect of leachate on the drinking water from the lake. (Photo : Steve Blake)
As part of the permit to expand the landfill in Coventry, Vermont, near the Black River, which empties into the southern end of Lake Memphremagog, two groups which had opposed the expansion were able to reach a settlement agreement that puts a four-year moratorium on leachate entering the lake. Now the two groups, along with several Quebec municipalities around the lake, would like to see the moratorium expanded to a more permanent basis. Water in the lake flows north into Quebec, where 175,000 people get their drinking water. The groups hosted a meeting for Canadian and Vermont lawmakers Monday morning in Newport, Vermont to discuss the environmental future of the lake. Also on hand were mayors and town officials from Derby, Vermont to Magog. Representatives from Vermont's Agency of Natural Resources and Casella Waste Systems, the landfill's owner, were available to answer questions. The landfill has been permitted a 51-acre expansion for a total of 128 acres, which will allow it to operate about another 20 years. See full story in the Tuesday, Jan. 14 edition of The Record.


below is the third fourth installment from jason, my taste tester, who has decided cooking isn't really too hard. he has occasional food projects, just like me, that he wants to share too. (check out his stovetop mac & cheese and egg sandwich experiment too.) this time it's today's lunch - a quick pasta sauce full of fresh vegetables.
Summer is great for food because you can always find fresh ingredients at the local farmers' market or your own garden. Sometimes you bought (or harvested) a lot of great vegtables and don't know what to do with them. With no meal planned on a lazy Saturday afternoon, we were getting very hungry and needed something fast. I made a fresh pasta sauce from the tons of fresh vegtables in the house.
I've watched Kate make sauce before many times. I was in a hurry and didn't want to spend forever searching the Internet for a recipe. So I just totally winged it. And you know what? It turned out better than I thought it would!
I was afraid that I would guess wrong at the times and order of cooking the vegetables, but I think it came out quite good -- Kate seemed to think it was pretty much perfect. What I write here is exactly how I did it; I didn't use a timer, just my intuition, but below I note what cues I use. Another note is that the sauce is chunky because I didn't try to blend it. If you like a smooth sauce, this would probably blend well. I've also heard that sugar is a popular sauce addition to counteract the acidity of the tomatoes, but I've never felt the need to do that; feel free to experiment. Kate also suggested adding butter at the end of the recipe to the sauce to make it thicker and richer.
Don't be afraid of a fresh sauce! Anyone can make this recipe and "skip the jar" of sauce with who-knows-what fillers in it.
small warning: while the flavors of this sauce are amazing, it is just wet enough to coat your noodles. don't expect them to be drowning like they are with jarred tomato sauce.
Get your ingredients ready beforehand: dice the tomatoes, carrots and onion. The tomatoes and mushrooms can be diced large (about 0.5 inch or 1.5cm cubes), because they will break down. The onions and carrots should be diced much smaller than that, about half the size, so that they get soft. Mince the garlic.
Start heating a pot of salted water to boil. I saw on Anne Burrell's show on Food Network that properly salted water for cooking pasta should taste "like the ocean."
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a sauce pan on medium heat, enough to get a good coating and flavor your sauce. If the oil starts to smoke, it's too hot!
Add the minced garlic in the pan. If your pan is hot enough it will sizzle right away. Cook until you can smell the garlic, it may be only 30-60 seconds. Don't let it brown; overcooked garlic tastes very bitter.
Add the carrots and onion and cook until they are getting soft. The onion will start to turn translucent. If you see the onions start to get brown and carmelize, it's too long.
Add the tomatoes and mushrooms. Keep a vigorous simmer going at medium to medium-low heat. The tomatoes and mushrooms will start to breakdown and give off their water, which will reduce as you cook. Cook for about 10 minutes. When the liquid has mostly disappeared, turn off the heat. Don't let the sauce go dry, which will start to burn it.
Cook the pasta while the sauce is simmering and reducing.
When the sauce has reduced, add heavy pinch of salt and taste. Don't skip tasting! Add more or less salt to taste, keeping in mind you can add salt but not remove it.
When the pasta is done, I love to add about a tablespoon of butter or margarine to keep it from sticking but also giving it great flavor.
Serve the sauce over the pasta and enjoy!
That looks so amazingly delish! I love how easy it is too!!!
After reading this post I picked all of my tomotoes and made the best ever fresh sauce. I cooked mine down-low and slow- for about 2 hrs,let it cool then put it in the fridge overnight. The next day it was back to the stove for about another hour then I added a huge handful of fresh basil, one tsp of salt and sugar and lots of fresh pepper. I served it over pappardelle pasta along with tomato salad. The tomato salad is simply diced fresh tomatoes, LOTS of fresh sliced garlic, fresh basil and oregano, olive oil and salt and pepper. Dip your crusty italian bread into this and I'll bet you eat the entire loaf!!! Be sure to have lots of napkins.
Enjoy fresh tomatoes-the best of summer.

I have just had your website pop up during a search for one of the Fort boats……Fort Providence. in 1944 my late father travelled from Scotland to Liverpool and joined the Empress of Scotland ending up at Halifax NS and then by train to Vancouver BC to standby the the building of the ship at Burrards'
When he arrived in March 1944 the ship was on the stocks and had not even been launched. He and the rest of the Engineers were put up at a Hotel in English Bay – the Sylvia Court…I have been in contact with them and rec'd some info back… and travelled back and forward to Burrards every day….As there was still so much to do with the build the Engineers actually got Jobs with Burrard – I have his Burrard badge….this lasted for three months until they finally sailed to Victoria – for armaments and finally to load in San Francisco for Australia. They sailed alone across the Pacific to Sydney – I have his full log and his memoirs that I am currently putting together in a book….. all be it slowly…The ship that never fired it's guns in anger…..I would continue but it might spoil a future read….
Mike Zikovitz
What a fascinating story! I'm glad you found my site and let me know about your father's journey. I look forward to reading the book one day!

We all know the hazards of tobacco smoke, whether first- or secondhand. Health research shows the harmful physical outcomes of smoking on long-term smokers. Stringent anti-smoking laws are usually produced in countries around the world. It's expensive. It stinks. It will provide you with stinky breath. Will you need any more reasons?
Undertake it you will need to, although giving up smoking is just about the toughest things you'll ever do! There are actually steps you can take to prepare yourself, quit and remain away from the nicotine habit for good.
Step one is to figure out if you are probably to arrive at for just a cigarette. Can you use a smoke in your morning coffee? Does food always create craving nicotine for dessert? Should you 'need' a cigarette before you could fall asleep at nighttime? What about after exercise - does everything good you've just done yourself give you an inside screaming for just a nicotine fix? Knowing once you crave cigarettes most can assist you to plan techniques to avoid or cope with the situation.
Step two is to discover approaches to combat the cravings you end up with consistently. It isn't enough just to tell yourself that you just won't smoke. The physical urges from nicotine withdrawal can get quite strong, so strong for you to can't give thought to everything else which enables it to become very irritable together with the people close to you. You might want to find something to distract your physique from the truth that it isn't getting its usual fix. Start with reducing the amount of servings of coffee you drink and have those cups in a very smoke-free zone - don't use it outside if you happen to smoke during the time you drink coffee! In the event you crave nicotine after strenuous exercise, spend time on the calming exercise when you're done; mild bending and stretching exercises can assist calm your head and reduce the anxiety due to the possible lack of nicotine.
Step three is to keep in mind proverb "Good habits result from resisting temptation". Think of the places and other people that set you off on a hunt for the closest cigarette. Should you generally purchase your cigarettes from the same shop? Head to different shop to shop for what you need, leaving cigarettes over the list. What is the 'smoking zone' outside your business building? Leave the structure from the different exit. Do you ever often spend more time with folks that smoke, in places where he or she can smoke? It might sound harsh, but spend less time with those individuals in those places. It is extremely difficult to quit smoking if the person sitting across on your part is puffing away.
Step four is not difficult - clear your desk, home, pockets and car of all smoking paraphernalia. Cigarettes, rolling papers, ashtrays, matches and lighters - get rid of them all! Keeping a pack of 'just one for emergencies' isn't gonna do you ever any good. One bad moment and you'll puffing away on that stale cigarette while walking with the shop to acquire fresh ones. Buy an aura freshener tailored for combating tobacco odors and use it everywhere you generally smoke, to make sure you won't be tempted by the odor of old habits.
Step five means changing where you decide to relax at home. Will you stand from the kitchen counter to get a smoke in your coffee? Take your cup into the lounge and have your drink there. Perhaps you have put a chair right next to a certain window, to help you to blow your smoke outside? Move the chair with the other side of your room or just choose another seat. Do you venture out towards the garden or balcony when you smoke? Opt for a different place to sit or stand when you're there, even if don't stop going outside.
Step six could be to keep your end in sight. Give thought to how you'll feel when you are able finally say 'I don't smoke.' and mean it. Leave notes for your own for the fridge, with your wallet or handbag, with your bathroom mirror and in some cases your laptop screen.
Step seven can be the most challenging. Have confidence in yourself. When you start thinking that stop smoking is actually much effort; that you're weak and can't handle the strain; that you'll never seem to become amongst the thousands of ex-smokers - stop it! It is possible. You recognize you can actually. Stick via the challenging times, which will seem long however are really quite short in the end. When you are able finally walk past several smokers without having the prefer to join them, you'll discover how right you were. Find your inner strength to be utilizing your plan. It isn't impossible.
Even when you put yourself through all of these steps, only to go back to your cigarette habit, don't stop trying! Require a deep breath (if your lungs will permit) and initiate again. Eventually, it may stick and you'll have the capacity to live a healthier, more energetic and much less expensive life. For additional information about disadvantages of smoking go here.


This may be a simple question but I can't seem a find a simple solution. I have obtained a large image (in jpg format) that I would like to treat as a map (where I can zoom, pan, etc.). I basically want it to be tiled and used as a basemap. No more no less. There is no 'real world' specific location for this either.
Is this something I would need to utilize Esri Leaflet for? Or am I way off? What is the easiest way to take a simple image and be able to treat it like a pan-able zoom-able map (and it doesn't have to be an Esri solution either - I have an organizational ArcGIS Online account, but I'm ok using other means for this).
since its just a single static image and not something you can georeference, if it were me i wouldn't even bother tiling it.
John, this is great! I'll have to toy around with this and see what I can break. Thanks for sharing that link.
